The Top Ten

1My Chemical RomanceMy Chemical Romance was an American rock band from Jersey City, New Jersey, active from 2001 to 2013. For much of their career, the band consisted of lead vocalist Gerard Way, guitarists Ray Toro and Frank Iero, bassist Mikey Way, and drummer Bob Bryar.

Best band ever. Deserves everything great and they're awesome I love them

They have so many fans just because they are considered emo

My Chemical Romance is very overrated, never understood why people loved all their music. Black Parade is amazing, I’ll admit that, but I thought Three Cheers was just a bunch of noise and that Bullets deserved more praised. Can someone please explain to me why My Chemical Romance was the life saving band for all of the emo kids out there?

Terrible band. It surprises me why people like them so much. They're rap mixed with rock... In my opinion a very very bad combination!

Greatest band it should be at top

They just suck laugh out loud how's Avenged Sevenfold overrated maybe if people didn't just listen to their mainstream songs and actually listened to their lesser known songs they would know their way better

These Guys are Absolutely Amazing, but Slightly Over-rated

I am a fan, but they are a BIT overrated. - GhostOfPerdition

Only a bit overrated. Only a bit.

10One DirectionOne Direction (commonly abbreviated as 1D) were a British-Irish pop boy band based in London, composed of Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, and previously, Zayn Malik until his departure from the band on 25 March 2015. The group signed with Simon Cowell's record label Syco Records ...read more.

One Direction is extraordinarily overrated. Their songs are unoriginal and uncreative, and though they may have a couple of decent, maybe above average vocalists, such as Zayn (I don't like him but he's a decent singer), their songs are actually musically and lyrically simple and not that impressive skill-wise. I don't see why iconic and talented bands are considered more overrated on this list. In fact I think Green Day and Linkin Park deserve the attention they get, and Fall Out Boy and My Chemical Romance are actually UNDERrated.

Whoever says they're the new Beatles really needs to listen to more music. The Beatles will always be a better band than One Direction; in fact, almost everything is better than listening to one of their songs.

Only liked because they look good, unoriginal and their fans worship them like gods.

11EvanescenceEvanescence is an American rock band founded in Little Rock, Arkansas in 1995 by singer/pianist Amy Lee and guitarist Ben Moody.

13Limp BizkitLimp Bizkit is an American nu metal band from Jacksonville, Florida, formed in 1994. Their lineup consists of Fred Durst, Sam Rivers, John Otto, and Wes Borland.

Is not overrated. Limp Bizkit is the best. Enough said.

It was "Big Thursday", and it should go back to that. If I had my druthers, it'd be the Thursday of State Fair week, every year. I wouldn't mind it still being a "home ^^ away" series, but making it a fixture on Thursday would definitely give the rivalry the national spotlight it so richly deserves.

14Black Veil BridesBlack Veil Brides is an American rock band currently consisting of Andy Biersack (vocals), Jinxx (guitar), Jake Pitts (guitar), Christian Coma (drums) and Ashley Purdy (bass), that formed in 2006 in Ohio. ...read more.

They aren't really around anymore, but still... When they were I felt they were a bit overrated. There isn't a lot of variation in their songs; all their albums and songs have the same structure. Still, leagues and miles ahead of bands like "One Direction" and "Dragonforce. "

I am sad to see that Breaking Benjamin is actually on this list... they stomp on Black veil Brides and Pierce the Veil if they are even worthy of being called bands
